A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play
Bertolt Brecht, Stephen Sharkey
1930s Chicago. Small time crime boss Arturo and his men offer protection.
Protection for workers, jobs, businesses. As the Great Depression hits the City's fortunes, Arturo strikes a deal and makes a killing until soon his shadow looms from the markets to the docks. But whether you're with him or against him, you can't ignore the resistible rise of Arturo Ui.
The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, translated by Stephen Sharkey was premiered at Liverpool Playhouse on 30 September 2011.
